I called Pertronix and they plead ignorance, however, they sent me to Open Road where I chatted with Lee who is a Ford Flat-Head guy. Lee feels that the Pertronix 1361-A will surely fit, has converted many Fords with the unit, and feels that it's a much better deal than the Allision-Crane units for several reasons: it fits entirely under the cap (no external box, wires, etc), it uses magnetic pickups instead of optical (the optical "window" can get dirty causing misfires), and it delivers a slightly higher voltage spark. I was sold and sent for one - I'll report whether or not it works.
Thanks for the leads,
